The city of Versailles is renowned worldwide for the châteaux, Palace of Versailles and its gardens. Located in the western suburbs of the French capital, just over 10 miles from the centre of Paris, Versailles is a popular day trip, but it’s worth considering an overnight stay. There’s a lot to explore, the Palace of Versailles, often referred to as simply Versailles, is one of the most famous historic monuments in the world and the landscaped gardens are simply spectacular. After a long day admiring the opulent architecture, strolling through the Orangerie and soaking up the history, settle into an Airbnb Versailles rental property and enjoy the city like a local. The Airbnbs below showcases the very best options for solo travelers, couples, families, and groups, who would prefer to enjoy Versailles at a leisurely pace.

The best time to visit Versailles, and Paris in general, is from April to June and October to November. The weather during these months is typically mild and pleasant. However, if you’re looking to see the palace at its least crowded, you might want to consider visiting in November or March.

It’s very common for tour groups to visit Versailles from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM every day. If you want to avoid these crowds, it might be best to plan your visit outside of these hours. Also keep in mind that the Louvre is closed on Tuesdays, which can result in an increase in visitors from Paris.

Escaping for a country getaway to Versailles is perfect for those who enjoy cities, but only in small doses. Many nip into Versailles for its many cultural attractions on a day trip, yet the town is worth exploring at a slower pace. On Tuesdays, Fridays, and Sunday mornings, you can stroll around Notre-Dame open-air food market and pick up some local produce, rent a boat and row the Grand Canal, picnic in one of the many public gardens or horse ride through the historic streets and the countryside.

This Airbnb makes a great base for such explorations. The villa is located a few meters from the train station, or if you are arriving by car, there’s a parking space available. The palace is a mere 800 meters away, meaning you can get up early and beat the crowds of buses coming in from Paris. It sleeps ten, with four bedrooms and one suite. Outdoor space is plentiful, too. Three bedrooms have access to a large terrace with a ping-pong table, and the fourth takes you out onto the rooftop.
